Awww...Poor Little SLR: McMerc to be Raffled for Charity

The Pohanka Automotive Group of Salisbury, MD made a mistake. They bought one more Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR than they thought they could sell. Well, actually, they bought one for a customer who backed out nearly a year ago and haven't been able to unload it. According to Marketing Director Chris Hagel, "If it were New York or Washington D.C., then it would probably be a lot easier to sell it." But since it's Maryland, the task's a bit tougher, which is why Hagel has put together a charity raffle to allow his company to cover their loss while benefitting Toys for Tots. A hundred bucks gets you in, and as of the moment, 1,200 tickets remain.
